Emaj7 flourish
[Verse]
(B7) Emaj7 F#m7 G#m7 C#m7
I loves you, Porgy, don't let him take me
G#m7 C#9 F#9 Am7
Don't let him handle me, and drive me mad
E/B C#m7 F#m7 Am7
If you can keep me, I wanna stay here with you forever,
E/B F#m7/B Emaj7 B7
and I'll be glad
Yes I loves you, Porgy, don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me, with his hot hands
If you can keep me, I wants to stay here with you forever
I've got my man
I loves you, Porgy, don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me, and drive me mad
If you can keep me, I wanna stay here with you forever
I've got my man

So, it' going to be like dying, Porgy, when he calls me.
Ab7 G7sus G7 Dm7 B7
But when he comes I know I'll have to go
I loves you, Porgy, don't let him take me
Honey, don't let him handle me, and drive me mad
If you can keep me, I wanna stay here with you forever
I've got my man.
